About this event

DE ANIMA is on Thursday 19 November 2026 at El Rincon, Bristol, with doors at 18:00. Tickets start at £8.80, including the booking fee.

Brand new trio about which we are very excited. Bristol-based De Anima play “prog-& jazz-inflected ‘alt rock’, singing stories that explore intimate interactions, real life events and politics, often sourcing lyrics verbatim from unusual places” - but that description doesn’t really do justice to their beautifully unusual sound and harmony-laden vocals. They are guitarist/singer Jojo Holmes, drummer Matt Jones (see Nov 12th!), and bassist/singer Jen Bell. Check out their videos at www.de-anima.uk and then snap up your tickets!

To call this trio a ‘supergroup’ is serious understatement!

Between them, their musical CV encompasses Portishead, Massive Attack, Robert Plant, This Is The Kit, The Brackish, Zun Zun Egui, The Liftmen, The Invisible Apples, Free Four, and many others. Expect a choice mix of jazz and groove standards, plus some original compositions, and just general top-class musicianship. As El Jefe would say: “Mint”.
